This network is run by the Centre for Inclusive Education (formerly SENJIT) at UCL's Institute of Education (IOE).

Who it's for

The PLN is open to all interested education professionals and practitioners.

It's aimed at:

specialist teachers in literacy and dyslexia

alumni students from the SpLD (dyslexia) Master's programme

Structure and content

The PLN meets once a term. Participation in the network is for a year.

The network is self-steering and led by member practitioners in order to ensure the direction reflects the needs and interests of the members.

You're encouraged to bring along case studies that focus on children struggling with literacy and examples of good practice.

A member of staff from the Centre for Inclusive Education (Liz Herbert or Emma Sumner) will also join the group to support facilitation and link with IOE researchers that members may wish to invite to speak with the group.

The introduction of the revised SEND code of practice: 0 to 25 years in September 2015 has significant implications for schools and it's anticipated that this may be an area of focus for the group.

£135 - to attend three sessions

SENJIT members can attend for free.
